“Maximizing utility performance will allow IRG to
focus on its core mission of developing a cost-competitive location to
attract industrial manufacturers.”

Veolia will manage utilities across 250 acres of property, much of which
is dedicated to the pharmaceutical and technology industries. The Pearl
River site will ultimately be the home of many high-tech and
mission-critical industrial companies in this space where the highest
levels of reliability are required.

Under this contract, Veolia will manage the water and energy utilities
of IRG’s New York City-area campus, including a 23-megawatt (MW)
cogeneration (CHP) plant, 18,000-ton chiller plant,
400,000-pound-per-hour boiler plant, 3.1 MGD water and wastewater
treatment plant; and electrical, steam and chilled water distribution
systems.

With resiliency in mind, Veolia’s services will allow IRG to focus more
on real estate development while ensuring the tenants’ customers receive
reliable and high-quality utilities. The onsite team has extensive
experience managing mission-critical utility operations leveraging its
global expertise and resources to ensure business continuity.

“Our team will work to optimize operations from a reliability and cost
perspective,” said John Gibson, president and COO of Veolia’s Municipal
& Commercial business. “Maximizing utility performance will allow IRG to
focus on its core mission of developing a cost-competitive location to
attract industrial manufacturers.”
